Game Blog: Spurs @ Blazers - Feb. 21

[timtonymanu]

Blair is ing worse than RJ at this point. At least RJ knows what the word PASS means. Every time Blair touches the ball he feels the need to put it up...WTF?!?!?

Sadly Blair and RJ are holding our team back to being true contenders. And we're most likely stuck with both of them till the end of the season.

If Kawhi builds on this game, this white flagging would have been worth it. He's showing he doesn't need to be passive; playa got some game, tbh.

That last shot was trash though...was basically a horizontal trajectory on it

[DMC]

The Spurs come out of a timeout and that happens.

Timeout with these guys:

Guys, ok. Go over there and sit down, and when the buzzer sounds, go back out there and have Cory shoot a half court shot.

[ffadicted]

So he was clearly supposed to be the best player on the floor tonight and number one option... What's RJ's excuse this game?

[Borosai]

I go eat my two bowls of cereals (cuz there's more than one in the bowl) and the Spurs are down a deeper hole.

I hate ending the winning streak by not trying, but at least Leonard is playing well.

Anderson + Jefferson + Blair for a starting PF. Any starting PF.

No IQ Matthews....

[timtonymanu]

This game could actually destroy any confidence the bench had tbh. Getting utterly destroyed by a team not even seeded (though that should change).

If they let this one fluke game destroy what they have built on all season, then we're in deep .

when his playing with the big3, he takes a backseat and becomes passive on the floor offensively....

if he can play like this tonight everynight, instead of worrying about the big3 getting theirs, he should be gettin his

I really hope that none of Portland's players get injured - but they really do not need to be out there at this point.

It's exactly how the Mavs game gave them confidence, only opposite.

[crc21209]

If Wallace, Aldridge, or Batum went down with an injury right now would you feel bad honestly? I mean the Blazers are up 30+ points and those guys are still in there?

[BackHome]

timvp, just save yourself the trouble with the game thoughts and give Leonard an A and the rest of the team F.

That is sad but true.....though at least Green gave effort more then I can say for the other guys.

[Bill_Brasky]

Hmm....should Kawhi be the first option when we play these games where Parker/Duncan have to rest?

[Reck]

No wonder this team gets zero respect and concidered a threat.

[TampaDude]

Enjoy your hollow victory, Portland.

Typical.

George Hill, Gary Neal, and Kawhi Leonard have all taken that responsibility. RJ is still trying to "fit in" even though he's been here for 3 years already.

[FkLA]

Remember that one game against the Mavs in RJs first season where our the Big 3 were out and on the Mavs with like 35 pts and we won the game ?

[mystargtr34]

Pop preserving Bonner aswell.

[Sense]

Anderson is horrible, get him out of here.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Enjoy your hollow victory, Portland.

Portland has already had one big blowout against the Charlotte Bobcrap first teamers.. And they have another one against the Spurs' D-Leaguers (plus RJ).

Poor Hollinger and his point-differential based "power rankings". Pop just shat on it.

[crc21209]

Blazer injury in 4, 3, 2, 1......

Yeah everyone thought RJ was finally fitting in, but he was just fulfilling his usual great starts to the NBA season and then disappearing for the rest.

[Juggity]

JA...Not making a case for himself with weak FT misses.
